On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 179 Jiang Huai
(Thanks to Xiaoxiaoxiaoxiaoda for voting for 2 monthly ticket.)
It's easier to get things done when there's someone around. Li Shiyue and his companions stayed in the city for a few more days, handed over the work to the people sent by Jiang Huijun, and rented a small shop directly on Shuyuan Street in the city, in a relatively remote location near the end of the street.

The rent of this shop is really not high, at least compared to the area in the provincial capital, it is really not high.

However, it also has something to do with the location and size of the shop.

Although this shop may not look small, it has a second floor. The front part can be used to sell goods, and there are three rooms in the back. Now it even has a residence for the shop assistants and a warehouse.

Anyway, Li Shiyue was quite satisfied when looking at this shop.

She thought that this shop would serve as a base for their paper mill in the city.

After this shop is opened, it will be convenient to have a storefront to ship goods, right?
Moreover, this is Jiang Huijun's mother's family shop. With this relationship, at least one can avoid taking detours when doing business in the city.

In fact, the shop was completed in less than a day. Of course, they didn't open the shop yet, but they were just preparing for it.

Moreover, this shop needs to be renovated, and the output of the paper mill in Liujiatun also needs to be increased. It will take at least two or three months before this shop can be opened.

The few extra days that Li Shiyue and his friends stayed in the city were actually spent waiting for Jiang Huijun to help find a suitable teacher.

The school in Liujiatun has been built, but it just lacks some desks, chairs, pens and ink before classes can start.

In this way, inviting the gentleman becomes the top priority.

Jiang Huijun did not disappoint Li Shiyue. After waiting for three days, Li Shiyue met the scholar named Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huijun called both of them to Yuelai Restaurant, the same Plum Blossom Private Room as last time, and even the food on the table was exactly the same.

After greeting Jiang Huai, who looked only two or three years older than her, Jiang Huijun asked them to sit down.

"We are all family, so I will tell you the truth in front of you two."

Jiang Huijun's temper is really what Li Sanniang likes. She likes people who speak their mind.

Or, in fact, it can be said that Jiang Huijun saw Li Shiyue's temper and behaved like this on purpose.

Jiang Huijun first said to Li Shiyue: "Jiang Huai, also surnamed Jiang, is a relative from my mother's side.

October, I won't hide it from you, Jiang Huai and my mother's family are five generations apart, but this child has a strong character and was quite talented when he was young.

But he had a tragic life. He lost his father when he was young and his mother when he was still young. He was a good student and passed the imperial examination to become a scholar at an early age.

He was only eighteen years old, but he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, which is rare in my family.

His clan could have sponsored him to study at the provincial school, but he said he didn't want to take the exam anymore and just wanted to find a way to make a living.

When you mentioned that you wanted to invite a gentleman, I thought of him first. "

After Jiang Huijun finished speaking, Li Shiyue turned to look at Jiang Huai, who bowed and spoke, "Madam Li, my situation is just as my aunt said.

I was alone and had the opportunity to spend a few years in school and passed the examination to become a scholar.

But my qualifications are limited. Even with the support of my family, it will be difficult for me to pass the imperial examination.

So, I thought, it would be better to find a job early.

After listening to what my aunt said, I really wanted to take the job of a teacher that you mentioned.

To be honest, my family has never treated me unfairly, but if I fail to pass the imperial examination, I will feel that I have failed my family. Therefore, I still think that I should start working early, firstly, I can earn some money to support myself;

Secondly, if there is any extra, I can give it back to the clan, and it will also make up for the guilt in my heart."

Facing Jiang Huai's hopeful gaze, Li Shiyue bowed in return and then slowly spoke.

"Madam, you are a descendant of your clan, and you have passed the examination for the title of Scholar. You must be a capable person. If you can get help from Mr. Jiang, it will be a blessing for our Liujiatun.

However, Mr. Jiang, I will not lie to you. I believe you have heard from my wife that the school in our village is only two rooms in size. We built this school to provide a place for the children of the workers in my paper mill.

They are all kids under ten years old. It's a good thing if we can force them to learn some principles and recognize some words.

Secondly, I was thinking of asking a teacher to help teach the villagers to read documents and do arithmetic during the slack season. It is not necessary for them to know how to write, as long as they can write their own names.

The rule is that when you do business in the future, you must not give people the wrong change.

But my uncles, aunts and uncles are all country people, and they are not as easy to teach as a child. Are you still willing to come, Mr. Jiang?
If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, this gift is indispensable!

According to the standards of the provincial capital, we will provide two copies!
And our paper mill will take care of all your paper needs from now on!

If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, there is a suitable yard in the village. We can buy one for him to live in.
If Mr. Jiang doesn't like it, it's not too late to cover it for him now."

“Why not?

When my mother was alive, I learned how to write characters from the clan school and then taught her how to write characters!

It just takes a little more effort!

Besides, I just took advantage of my clan and was able to go to the clan school since I was young. When my father was alive, he also had to work in the fields. How could I look down on farmers?

What Madam Li said is very good. The old house is enough. I am alone, so why should I build a new house?"

Li Shiyue could tell that Jiang Huai was sincere. After all, a person's mouth can lie, but his eyes and heartbeat cannot.

Li Shiyue has extraordinary five senses. She has been staring at Jiang Huai. At least, at this moment, Jiang Huai is sincere.

If you regret following them back to Liujiatun, then just send them back properly.

After thinking about this, Li Shiyue agreed to what Jiang Huai said with a smile on his face.

So, it was a meeting where everyone was happy.

Li Shiyue and Jiang Huai agreed on a date and time to meet at the city gate of the prefectural city, and Jiang Huai would go directly back to Liujiatun with them.

During the few days in the city, not only did he accomplish all the things he was supposed to do, but he also "caught" Liu Shu to complete a task, for which he earned 200 points and a chance to draw a lottery. Li Shiyue really felt that this trip was not in vain.

After making a large purchase in the city, Li Shiyue and his companions drove the horse-drawn carriage out of the restaurant and picked up Jiang Huai outside the city. They agreed with Li Wangming, who came to see them off, on the time of their next visit to the city, and then they headed home following the sound of horses' hooves.

At the same time, Li Shiyang, who had returned from Sanshan County two days ago, was sitting on the kang, explaining things to Li Youfu, who had a sullen face.

New characters appear!
A supporting role that will also have a lot of roles in the future~——
